Can you believe that it’s 2018 already? The team at XL have been busy over the summer brainstorming and designing new and exciting team building activities, having identified some new trends in the industry.

Our clients are always on the lookout for different activities and new team building ideas that will not only challenge their teams but also provide them with a fun, safe and highly interactive experience. This is where our job gets to be a whole bunch of awesome!

Having been designing and managing team building activities for nearly 18 years, we think we have a pretty good handle on whats popular now, what activities are close to there use by date, and most importantly, what the next big thing in team building.

Here are our predictions for the hottest team building trends in 2018.

1.Giving back to those less fortunate.

Almost 60% of the team building activities we managed in 2017 had some form of CSR component. Companies have really embraced the whole ‘giving back to the community’ attitude and supporting charities and foundations who assist people in need and the less fortunate.

Whether it be food hampers, kids bikes, warm nutritious meals, or even family support strategies, our charity team building department has been busier than ever. In fact last year we connected 96 companies with amazing charitable organisations throughout the country, with nearly 40% of the companies now providing their ongoing support, time and expertise. This is something we are passionate about, and we take our role as acting as a conduit between Corporate Australia and the increasing community needs very seriously.

Our two biggest passions are assisting troubled Foster Children and fighting the fight against the increasing problem of Homelessness in Australia. Our most popular CSR activities in the past 12 months have been The Bike Factory and Community Kitchen.

In 2017 we rebuilt houses, sowed crops, held charity auctions, managed a food drive, donated thousands of bikes and toys, and provided nearly a thousand warm meals to people living on the streets.

We are launching 2 new charity team building programs in 2018… stay tuned!

Traditionally team activities were predominantly requested to be held outdoors, in the fresh air and sunshine. The trend in 2017 was far more ‘controlled’ team building experiences that could be facilitated indoors. Initially, we thought it was more to do with safety and maybe even company reputation (what happens indoors, stays indoors). We were way off the mark! Clients wanted more detail and focus from their teams, and the idea that there are too many distractions outdoors diluting the activities impact has seen an increase in indoor activities.

In previous years activities like Amazing Races and other reality TV style activities, run outdoors, sometimes lacked the impact and learning potential due to the outdoor nature of the experience. In a more controlled environment, it is easier to ‘manage the learning potential’ and observe the finer interpersonal interactions between team members, thus improving ROI and takeaways from the activity.

This is a trend we identified a few years ago. It’s challenging designing team building activities when our brief is centered on ‘making it competitive’, as we believe it’s counterproductive to have winners and losers, especially in a team environment.

Activities where the whole team can achieve success together, and the ability to engage them into a common goal, has a far greater impact and will be remembered longer than having a small group of winners, and the remainder of the team feeling like losers. Keep team building activities collaborative in nature and everyone wins!

A successful team activity will suit you, your team and your goals, giving a sense of value to your group and with the aim of developing a great team.

]]>

We’ve heard the saying there’s no ‘I’ in the team. But take another perspective. Everyone has something to offer, be it a skill, a talent, experience, an idea. Whatever it may be. To be a successful team, we must have an open approach to identifying, and encouraging, what each member can bring to a group. Then, of course, there is ‘I’ in a team.

Trust

A significant key component to the development of a team is establishing the feel of trust. It’s about being open with your team-mates. Being comfortable to raise concerns, being confident to challenge a colleague, confiding in a team member if help is needed. If there is lack of trust within a team, then it’s hard to work together effectively towards the same goal. Developing trust within a team can be achieved by awareness, both for the individual and group as a whole. Get to know each other, their skills, working styles, fears, capabilities, their goals. Encourage constructive debate as well as open discussions. By doing this your team will develop a deeper relationship, which will develop into a bonding relationship, which will develop into a trusting relationship.

Value your team

Studies have shown that employees who are valued are more motivated as a team. Show interest in their efforts, communicate with them, congratulate them on their achievements, reward them on their outcome, show your appreciation.

The Result: a positive and enthusiastic team, not only will they show respect for each other but for your company.

Take a break

Encourage non-work communication. Get out of the office. Studies have shown that communication in successful teams can be generated by having a break as a team, being social, and coming away from the work environment, and work-related conversation. It’s an opportunity for team bonding and the development of trusting friendships.

Setting achievable goals will motivate your team. Communicate well and praise their efforts. Encourage them to identify their roles, ensuring that they are comfortable with what they have to offer the group. Reinforce what they do by praising them. Goals are viewed as a challenge, which completed successfully together as a team will create and build a stronger relationship.

TeamXL has been guilty of not spending time on our own team in the past, however, we have identified the importance of coming together and regularly participating in fun and interactive team activities on a regular basis.

Improve your teams MOJO, especially as we take time out to enjoy the festive break, and renew our energies for 2018.

Here are some great team building tips and fun team building ideas to thank and empower your team at the end of 2017:1. Come together in a social setting, and thank every team member personally. This is a no-brainer!

2. Do some team activities to highlight what your teammates mean to you, and vice versa.

3. Reward the team for a big year – especially if it was challenging and the team experienced lots of change throughout the year. This can make all the difference to how the team moves into 2018 and beyond.

4. Have a team dinner and a few drinks, and bookend the year with a thank you speech and outline the good things that came out of the year.

5. Get the team together for a light-hearted and fun team building activity. Keep it interactive and not too focused… it been a big year and we want the team to engage as much as possible.

Popular team building activities are programs that are designed to promote team behaviors that promote trust, with challenge activities that utilise the skills, strengths, talent, experience, and capabilities of team members in a fun and rewarding environment.

A successful team activity will suit you, your team and your goals, giving a sense of value to your group and with the aim of developing a great team.

]]>A lot has been documented about the benefits of team building over the years, generally with loads of oh’s and um’s, as to the benefits of team building activities in today’s corporate environment.

As someone on the front line of the team building industry, designing and managing numerous programs for corporate clients each week, in Australia, Asia, and New Zealand we can honestly say that team building is more important than ever!

We design and manage around 200 programs a year and our team building Sydney, team building Melbourne and Perth team building activities have taken a real turn towards teams engaging more with community needs. The industry has changed as the need for more tailored and focused interventions has developed, thus some of the requests we receive each week are nothing less than ‘out of this world’!

We had a call from an IT company in Perth recently, and this company had done it all, some good and some pretty ordinary. They wanted something very different, something that their team would be talking about for years to come, and something that actually had some traction.

By traction, we are talking about a connection not just to the team, but to the community and beyond. We suggested that the company look at an activity that ignited the common passion of the team and also addressed a real community issue at the same time. The Community Kitchen was suggested for the client and a tailored program was designed for this regular team building Perth client.

Not only was the team totally engaged, they brought in to the scope of preparing and cooking warm nutritious meals for those living rough on the streets of Perth. And what better way to tie the focus of the activity into community needs, than to have one of our food charity partners, Oz Harvest, there to receive the 280 meals to be distributed to the streets that evening. Impressive stuff!

So for those who think they have done it all, think again.

Your team efforts can really make a difference in the community, as well as within your very own team. Win-Win in every sense!

]]>It’s been a busy couple of monthsof team building in Torquay, with our Melbourne team building office managing over a dozen large team building activities in and around Torquay and Lorne.

The popularity of the Surf Coast region has been strong this winter, and many organizations look to get out of the city for their annual conferences and company off sites.

Our largest team building activity was a 260 person Bike Factory, where the team made over 30 bikes for a bunch of lucky local indigenous kids, who we bused in to receive their new bikes from the team. So many happy faces, both kids and adults, and even a few sneaky tears were shed on the day!

Our Melbourne team building office was challenged last month with another large conference activity, where we had to design a MasterChef Cooking Challenge for a 130 person conference. The MasterChef activity Is one of our favorites, and most popular, however, this client requested that we only use locally sourced ingredients and that the clients own line of herbs and spices be the starring feature of the activity.

Being foodies ourselves, the team stepped up to the challenge and designed an engaging cooking team building activity the budding MasterChefs would never forget.

Designing, preparing and cooking a 4-course meal for their Gala Dinner, using locally sourced beef, poultry, seafood and vegetables, was a huge success. The food was incredible, and the vibe in the room was electric!

Venues in Torquay

One of the best things about working in Torquay is the standard of conference venues on the Surf Coast.

RACV Torquay is without a doubt ahead of the pack as far as venues and conference packages go in Torquay. With amazing views over the coast, a golf course, great conference facilities, and stylish accommodations, it’s our pick of venues in the area.

The Torquay Sands, Peppers Resort, and Wyndham Resort are also very highly recommended conference venues, and depending on your conference requirements, will definitely exceed your expectations with great services and facilities.

Popular team building activities in Torquay

Along with the Bike Factory and MasterChef, other popular team activities include The Amazing Race around Torquay, which is a nice way to get the delegates out of the conference room and experience the local surf coast culture, whilst having some fun.

Short Film Festival has also been popular this year, with companies making their own short films to show at their evening dinner. We have tailor-made a number of client specific programs from adventure days, MTB tours right through to an enormous company fair with giant slide and a sideshow alley!

Our favorite Torquay team building activity though was a recent small conference we managed for a car manufacturer. Unbeknownst to the delegates, they were met out front of the conference room by The Mystery Bus, which whipped them off to a local park, where upon exiting the bus, they found a bunch of pieces of fiberglass and steel laid out before them.

The team was given 3 hours to organise themselves into project teams and work together to construct a large children’s playground. What was a pretty challenging task of teamwork, process and quality control, was met with cheers of joy when a busload of local kids turned up to test out the playground!

The playground was donated to a local kids charity, and the delegates enjoyed a casual afternoon of drinks and a gourmet BBQ to regale their experience of giving back to the community.

If you are considering conferencing in Torquay and want some tips on what Torquay team building activities would suit your team, drop us a line. Our consultants know the Surf Coast really well and can guide you on everything from activities, venues, and attractions in the area.

Give our friendly consultants a call on 1300 733385 to chat about your next conference.

]]>Team building in Melbourne has over the past 10 years, seen a dramatic change in both what’s on offer, and how much that Melbourne team building activities cost to participate in.

Anyone who has been in the team building industry for 10 or more years will be able to regale you with stories of the good old days when there were only a handful of providers operating in Melbourne, and team building activities were charged at a premium.

New activities and programs were being introduced weekly to the market, and it was a very exciting and creative time to be in the industry. It was interesting to watch, as some providers launched new activities that were so awesome in their design, delivery, and outcomes, that teams were going crazy over their experiences. Most of the new activities were structured really well, thus were so successful in achieving client outcomes, that there was a real surge in demand for team building Melbourne.

Then things changed…
With the introduction of many new reality television shows, came the onslaught of many new team building providers. Unfortunately, most of these new entrants just copied existing providers websites and offered exactly the same activities.

Like anything that is popular and in high demand, a number of these activities were copied and sold at a far lower price point, and like any copied or imitation product or service, quite often quality and delivery suffered as a result. Some of the copied activities were OK and filled the demand for less expensive team building options, however, loads of the imitation offerings were just duds.

This hurts the industry greatly, as organisations and individuals were exposed to negative experiences during poorly designed and managed team building days, and it has taken a long time to recover.
This is where Melbourne team building stalled, and in some cases it staled!

Fast forward to today, and there are over 30 companies offering similar, if not the same, Melbourne team building activities.

Premium versions of any activity must include event insurance in case someone is injured, a full risk assessment and safety plan, hydration options, sun protection, photography and definitely a post-event participant survey to determine its success.

Budget versions of most Melbourne team building activities are just that – budget!
Very rarely are you booking a true corporate experience, thus confirming the inclusions in any activity you are looking at engaging, is mandatory.

PLI insurance is a MUST! As is an event risk assessment.
Ask yourself this one question before committing to a budget team building activity – “Can our team deal with a negative team experience, or at worst if someone gets injured?”

Exciting Times Ahead
The industry is about to go through a new phase, and innovation, creativity, and collaboration will be what drives change. And to be honest, it can’t come quick enough!

New technology has driven innovation to amazing new heights, with a whole bunch of new offerings is being launched in Australia. Social interaction is also going to be a huge influence on new team building activities in the future, as the new generation of teams embraces the multitude social platforms for everyday communication and information sharing.

Keeping abreast of what’s on offer these days and what new activities are available, is the key to making sure your team has the most engaging and positive team experience at your next team building day.

When searching for an awesome experience for the team, get a few quotes from different providers, and you soon realise if the provider and the activity fit your needs.

For some great new team building ideas and Melbourne team building activities, contact the crew at XL Events and let us know how you would like to challenge your team to achieve greater performance.

Our team have over 30 combined years in the industry in Victoria and are here to assist!

We make some pretty ambitious resolutions for ourselves at this time of year, but have you ever made one for your team?

Leadership is all about designing team strategies that work, and part of that is making team goals that are achievable and most importantly, have buy-in from the team

Here are some easy to implement New Year Resolutions that might just make next year a great one for your team.

1. Schedule at kick-off meeting with the team and write down what worked for the team in 2016, and more importantly, what didn’t work!

2. Make a strong pact with your team to give everyone a voice and a platform to be heard. This can make a huge difference to getting the most from your team members!

3. Kick off the new year with a team challenge that gets everyone involved and excited. Put up a prize and promote the challenge via your internal channels. Keep it simple and achievable for the whole team.

4. Make a commitment to regular team building activities that are more than the old humdrum. Team building done well is worth its weight in gold!

5. Invest in Team Development Programs that promote engagement and provide individual team members the tools to better communicate and collaborate with fellow team members.

6. Implement a social, gym, creative or running club to boost productivity and promote team relationships

7. Look at improving the way you facilitate meetings, and make a pact to improve the time efficiency and outcomes of each meeting you have with the team.

Try a few of these resolutions out, and we promise, they may just make a huge difference to your teams’ performance in 2017.

]]>As another year winds down, it is so very important to say a big thank you to every person in your team, and identify that one thing that you really enjoy about working alongside that team member throughout the year. Empowering each other can be a simple thing that we all do at the end of a long year, and it might actually make a difference to how the team operates next year.

A great activity to do with the team is an activity called 3 Gifts.

Here’s how it works: Ask your team to spend 10 minutes to consider 3 things they bring to the team, and then create their own poster to promote this.

Hang all of the posters on the wall in a common area, and ensure everyone on the team has the opportunity to review the posters. It makes a great discussion point and team members might even like to add some other ‘gifts’ to your poster.

This can be very empowering and a real eye-opener to how others respect and identify with the ‘gifts’ you bring to the team on a daily basis.

The team at XL Events have been guilty of not spending time on our own team in the past, however, we have identified the importance of coming together and regularly participating in fun and interactive team activities similar to 3 Gifts.

It makes such a difference to the teams Mojo, especially as we take time out to enjoy the festive break, and renew our energies for 2017.

Here are some great tips and fun team building ideas to thank and empower your team at the end of 2016:1. Come together in a social setting, and thank every team member personally

2. Do some team activities similar to the above 3 Gifts to highlight what your teammates mean to you, and vice versa.

3. Reward the team for a job well done, or for a big year – especially if it was challenging and the team experienced lots of change. This can make all the difference to how the team members move into 2017 and beyond.

4. Have a team dinner, and bookend the year with a thank you speech and outline some positives to come out of the year.

5. Get the team together for a light-hearted and fun team building activity. Keep it interactive and not too focused… its been a big year and we want the team to engage as much as possible.

If you would like some easy to implement activities to enjoy with your team, give us a call. Or contact us and ask for some inspiration and we will email them out to you for free!

In 2016, XL Events and our sister companies in Thailand and Indonesia facilitated over 320 team building activities and events, catering for 21’200 individual team members. We traveled to 123 cities around the world and enjoyed taking nearly 70’000 digital images of our clients activities.

It’s time we sit back, grab a cold beer, and tell each other just how important we all are to the team… and maybe sneak off and catch up on some well-earned sleep!

]]>Oh what a week! Midway through a 4 country MasterChef tour with two of our largest clients, and I am pretty tired! Sitting here in Ngurah Rai Airport waiting to board yet another plane, I started a conversation with a well dressed and friendly Balinese gentleman, Pak Gede. We shot the breeze for a few minutes with small talk, and then out of the blue he asked me what I did for work.

“Oh, I am a team building facilitator” I responded knowing full well he wouldn’t have a clue what I was talking about. “Apa…“was his obvious response. I just laughed with him, as infectious as the Balinese laughter is, as I started to explain what team building was to Pak, however the look on his face was one of utter bewilderment.

“You build what?…”

He nodded politely as I drilled down more into what I did for a living, just confusing him more and more.

Finally, with a big smile on my face, I explained it like this. “I design and deliver kids games for adults”. He was in stitches with laughter, I could see his mind trying work out what the hell this bule’ was talking about. There was a pause as I watched him process what I had just said, and then the penny dropped… “You make fun for a job” he blurted out, looking at me intently for some form of positive response.

I pretty much just nodded at him and smiled again, “yes Pak, that’s exactly what I do for a job”.

This got me thinking about how many people have participated in our team building activities over the past 13 years, and what the common thread was in nearly every activity we have designed and delivered over that period. The common thread is FUN!

When a client contacts us with a request for a team activity, or looking for some fun team building ideas, we always discuss what they are looking to achieve for the team from the experience, and what expectations they have for a successful activity. Collaboration, teamwork, improved communication between departments, promote creative and innovative thinking, develop relationships… the list is endless, however in nearly every conversation, fun is the key outcome clients stress. “Just make sure it is fun!”

So, are we talking about a team building activity here, or is it really a team reward, a celebration, or even an incentive you are looking for? This is where our job as team building specialists gets really interesting. Sometimes the task of extracting the information from clients is challenging, and it really feels like an interview at times. Most clients know what they want, yet a small majority have often been given the task to ‘find a good team building activity’ by their superiors, and have little or no background on the what, why or which one. “Just make sure it is fun!”

Having a clear understanding of the challenges a team faces, and knowing more about the teams dynamic and organisational goals can be the difference between doing a good team building activity, and participating an a great team activity that is engaging, memorable and has lasting benefits.

“Just make sure it is fun!”

As my flight to Bangkok started boarding, Pak Gede shook my hand and asked for my business card, exchanging it for his own. “I want to talk more to you Mr Mick, when you back in Bali?” I looked at Paks business card and smiled when I read ‘Director – Bali Tourism Board. ‘

“We need some fun at my work, and Bali is great for fun, can you help us?”

“Of course we can Pak, I will email you soon to get some details from you, ok”
